| Description: |
Biofilm Infections deals with both the evidence for biofilms in chronic bacterial infections, in addition to the problems involved, including diagnostic and treatment regimes. Featuring chapters written by worldwide researchers, this volume is the first to focus only on this topic. |
| Synopsis: |
This book will cover both the evidence for biofilms in many chronic bacterial infections as well as the problems facing these infections such as diagnostics and treatment regimes. A still increasing interest and emphasis on the sessile bacterial lifestyle biofilms has been seen since it was realized that that less than 0.1% of the total microbial biomass lives in the planktonic mode of growth. The term was coined in 1978 by Costerton et al. who defined the term biofilm for the first time.In 1993 the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) recognised that the biofilmmode of growth was relevant to microbiology. Lately many articles have been published on the clinical implications of bacterial biofilms. Both original articles and reviews concerning the biofilm problem are available. |
